Reduced from £799.99 to £599.99
I know its only an M3 processor but not a bad price
Actually it appears all the surfaces are being reduced in price on the amazon store

Trust me the m3 chugs horribly in comparison to the i5 version of this.

Depends what you need it for I guess, but yeah, I'd go for the i5 if at all possible.
The Surface Pro has been probably one of the few devices that competes head to head with Apple's range in terms of customer satisfaction. Surface (not Pro) and earlier Pro versions were not great, but the Pro 3 and Pro 4 really improved.

This one does not include the pen that comes in some of the packages.

Out of interest, is that Stylus Pen really that useful/relevant? (genuine question?), as I'm none the wiser ..... thanx.

I wonder if Microsoft is finally relenting and including the Type Cover but making the pen a separate purchase?

Unless MS have changed things the pen is in the main box for all of them.
It was the Surface 3 (not Pro) that the pen was sold separately.

Drawing, note-taking... you decide if you need it.

Pen not included.

It's more clever than useful, unless you're a graphic artist it's not really that much good, you can annotate documents, write sticky notes and use it to draw, but as an IT consultant, I've never used my pen in anger, I've got a couple of sticky notes on my desktop, but I could have easily typed them instead. I'd suggest this is a good deal and you can buy the pen later should you need it, that's assuming the pen isn't included, because as far as I was aware, MS never produced a pro 4 without.

if I am just using this for word, chrome and email and netflix - will I notice much difference between this and the i5?
thanks

Here's a video from techtablets.com comparing the i5 & m3 models. As well as the usual benchmarks there are some "real world" usage comparisons. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BJCL3nFfoMs

Probably not really, but then why not save your money and buy an on offer, sub-£200 2in1?
